CLEARFIELD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Chester Hill Borough is looking for some community feedback on potential transportation recommendations and solutions.
The survey is in partnership with Clearfield County, the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission (NCPRPDC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The study was initiated in response to community concerns surrounding the impacts of the recent closure and removal of the Presqueisle Street Bridge.
SCASD Delta program splitting into two schools, board says Community residents and travelers are invited to take the online survey, which can be found here . The survey allows participants to share their transportation concerns and offer their feedback on potential improvements in the area of McGuirk and Rowland streets.
In addition to losing a connection to Philipsburg, Chester Hill Borough has observed growth in vehicular traffic on its roadways and increased pedestrian safety risk since the bridge’s closure in 2019. The study will identify recommendations to enhance both vehicular and pedestrian access, mitigate potential conflicts between transportation modes, and alleviate the pressure of increased traffic levels on local roadways.
The study process is being guided by a steering committee consisting of representatives from the borough, Clearfield County, NCPRPDC, and PennDOT.
